Seen allot of reports on Yukon outer stubs sheering at the second snap ring groove.
No issues of that on this board I take it??

-Oh no I picked a side-
I've seen them twist/pop in the middle of the ears and flat pop in the middle....
Where are you hearing this mark? Like anything--its a 44 and they are going to break....

Pirate (were else). Seen a couple pics/threads on it, with multiple people showing similar breaks. Kind of turned me off to Yukon shafts [stubs atleast].
From what I have web-wheeled... seems like Alloy USA is the best bang for the buck. No questions 10-year replace, and stronger to begin with than Yukons, with Superiors being the top dog.
For me, stockers with welded U-joints and haven't broken one. But a Detroit's going in here REAL soon so I don't expect that luck to last

I run a 44 with 36" Iroks I LOVE the skinny pedal at times, the shafts are yukon and yukon joints. Front tire burns and 2 stubs broken at the spindle needle bearing "sheered". I drive the axle hard if you don't do front tire burns on rock they will survive just fine. I am very impressed with how they hold up, stock shafts would laugh and then "snap"

Whats the current 'warenty' on Yukon shafts??
What am I talking about, I have a D60 sitting waiting, money dumped into my 44 could be dumped into the 60..., but curiousity does get to me.
What are folks paying for a set of inners and outers?
I think it is 5 yr but I have an insider
so I've never had a question with warranty.I think the complete set runs $500-$600 for d-44 shaft kit with joints price varries with spicer or Yukon joint.

ya, but now you have a 60.... and rick is proving that those are just more expensive to fix
Besides, for now I'm just on 33's, I plan on getting some spare shafts, and getting good at swapping :redneck:
hmmm, according to your Sig I must be a A & B type person.... wish I could be a C but 'D'=family has now gotten in the way, with 'E'=money.
But hey, till then I can be a parts whore :flipoff:

Rick's front 60 has demons in it--he has had bad luck with that thing as long as I have known him,lol....
Now I have zero worries and not afraid to do front digs in the rocks...

I don't think I would run a Detroit if you are worrying about shafts popping. After the first shaft you can say goodbye to the detroit too...Pirate (were else). Seen a couple pics/threads on it, with multiple people showing similar breaks. Kind of turned me off to Yukon shafts [stubs atleast].

Actually it was fine till that first knuckle he blew up on tight-ass many moons ago, since then... ya, down hill.
He also beats the living tar out of that thing. Seems like he wheels more times in a month than I can sometimes manage in a year!!
Same with an ARB or lunchbox or anything else. I've also heard reports of lost of folks that have busted shafts and not hurt a damn thing, so I guess it depends on the circumstances of the break.
After running an open front for 10 years, and been *talking* about a locker for just about as long (as well as allot of other things
) now that I scored a deal on this thing it WILL go in and atleast get a 'season' of beating on is. I'm SO stocked to actually see what the difference a front locker can make. But thats not this thread.________
